Hierarchical Peptide Functionalized Titania Nanotubes: Improving Stability, Promoting Osteogenesis, and Reducing Infection Risk

Small, EarlyView.
The study demonstrates a dual‐level modification of titania nanotube surfaces through the covalent grafting of Fmoc‐FF dipeptides, followed by a secondary self‐assembled layer of FF dipeptide. This hierarchical strategy significantly enhances coating density and structural integrity without compromising the nano‐topographical and biochemical cues ...

Printing to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Through Nano/Microstructured Platforms

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing enables the rational design of structured antimicrobial platforms across multiple length scales, from nanofibrous scaffolds and droplet microreactors to 3D and 4D printed constructs. By engineering confinement, interfacial chemistry, and stimuli‐responsive release, these systems exert localized action through complementary ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Sodium Diclofenac‐Loaded Drug Delivery Microspheres: Impact on Calcium Hydroxide Paste Properties and Biological Response

Australian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated whether the incorporation of sodium diclofenac‐loaded microspheres into a calcium hydroxide paste enhances antibiofilm activity while maintaining physicochemical properties and biocompatibility. Calcium hydroxide paste, calcium hydroxide combined with sodium diclofenac, and calcium hydroxide containing sodium diclofenac ...
